Does anyone know what the heck "DMR" stands for?

I can find nothing about the "Tivo Series 3 DMR" announced on the "Idol" contest, nor much on the Internet. What are it's supposed features?

I am hoping for for some sort of HDTV version of TiVo. I love my HDTV receiver, but also I love more viewing TV with TiVo. So I rarely watch HDTV shows, except for movies. But the phone rings, and I have to return to low-res TiVo for the remainder of the movie.

Just a guess, how about "Digital Media Recorder".

Since TiVo doesn't just do TV (Video) anymore, but music and photos as well.

Some Series 3 threads:

There were more, but they must have gotten too old and rolled off the forums.

The Series 3 box is a Tivo box that can record high def signals from your cable provider or over the air.

You have seen much on the internet, since the box hasn't be officially announced, though some of the links above pretty much sum up what's known about the box.
